I installed the "Official" GB Leak and have been using Titanium Backup to uninstall all the bloatware that sprint feels is a "must have" for our phones.
The only thing that is left is the Latitude app and i can't find it anywhere within Titanium.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to delete this with Titanium or what i need to delete using Root Manager?
The Latitude app is a part of Google Maps even though it shows a separate icon in the app drawer. I don't think there is a way to uninstall it, but I could be wrong.

I'm not at my MacBook at the moment, but if you do a search for safe to remove apps for the EVO, you will find several lists. There is also a sense removal script floating around that you can alter to your liking. If you're new to rooting, I would suggest you use the Titanium Backup app and "freeze" the items you don't want instead of removing them. If, by chance, the frozen item causes problems or you find it to be something you need, you can always "defrost".

Any help here would be appreciated. This happened twice with google maps and once with facebook. Instead of integrating, apps are being removed from phone.
I am on stangs rom the latest official deodexed gingerbread rom...never had this problem before.
Are you restoring data+apps? And if so what Rom did u back them up with?

Nah. When I install a new rom (like this one for instance) I only restore user apps and data. I leave all the internal apps alone.
Soo after getting updates for internal apps (like Gmail/Maps/Facebook) I use the intergrate button and then **poof** the apps are removed. Icon still shows up under system/apps in Root Explorer but the app and icon don't show up anymore on phone.
So what do you guys recommend? Should I just do this manually in Root Explorer? How can I integrate on my own to save some space?
Just wanted to bump. I know I can do this the reverse way while rooted. I guess by removing the app and reinstalling again but anyone else have any ideas?
Still getting this problem.
How much free space is is /system? TB may fail on moving if there is not enough space free.

Hmmm I bet you are on to something. Only about 3-4 mb free. Even though I can free up about another 40 mb by deleting an app.disabled folder I created. Thanks man I bet this is why.
When I go into the Android Market and select "My Apps" it shows that I have 30 apps installed, and I know for a fact that I have more than that installed. Titanium Backup reports 67 user apps.
I have ran the Market Doctor from Titanium Backup, however it doesn't seem to have done anything?
Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?
Cheers.

This happened to me before and I reinstalled market using an .apk file. Look on the forums here for the apk. That worked perfect for me.
Install titanium backup. It has market recovery options

Or just try going into settings -> apps -> all -> then clear data from the market app.
But just one question...we're all your apps legally downloaded from the official Android Market?

Bloater not working... Any alternatives?
Can someone list the apps it should remove in juggs ROM...?
It never worked 4 me either. just use titanium backup.
And im not going to make a list just delete or freeze the apps u don't use or want.

It came up after a lot of clicking. Made my own list and removed apps. Making a list to automate the process with titanium.
Wasn't sure how to delete my post.

OK, while we wait for custom roms with full debloat, what can we do for ourselves now you have a device that is rooted.
I'd suggest a file manager that can explore root, such as Root Explorer. Get one and give it SU status.
Next download and install Adfree run it and install a new hosts file to get rid of ads etc.
After that, disable apps under Settings/General/ Application Manager, by clearing cache, clearing data, force stop and disable.
Now on to /system/apps to remove the bloat.
Except here's where I need help.
Which apps after you've disabled them can now be deleted from /system/apps. They don't necessarily have the same names that appear in Apps Manager in Settings/General/ Application Manager.
And what's safe to delete and what's not.
For instance
I want rid of Google Plus, Hang outs. Facebook, All Samsung bloatware except maybe touchwiz and magazine inferface and IR apps.
How do I do this safely.
How do I remove most of the bloat ware while still leaving the essentials?
Thanks in anticipation..
I would recommend using Titanium Backup to "freeze" unwanted system apps. Most everything Samsung can be safely frozen. When you freeze an app, you're not uninstalling it, just disabling it. If you freeze something that causes unwanted results, simply unfreeze to return to full function.

Understood, and indeed a very valid point. :good:
BUT, I'm looking to remove the excess bloatware solely so I can free up RAM.

Frozen apps do not use RAM.
You're right.
I meant storage space. I want to free the storage space the bloatware fills up. For that you need to remove the app from /system/apps
Is adfree better than adblock?

Adblock kept crashing on my devices, I changed to adaway and that seems to be doing better.
